Real Salt Lake’s decision to fire Jeff Cassar wasn’t one made because of a “smoking gun” but as the result of analysis since the start of preseason.
Craig Waibel, Real Salt Lake general manager, repeatedly called the decision a “cumulative” one in a teleconference this afternoon.
“(It was) a cumulative decision made by the club in its entirety,” Waibel said, emphasizing that neither he nor Dell Loy Hansen was alone in making the decision. “There’s no one voice in our club that dictates or makes decisions alone. It’s a cumulative decision based on quite a bit of consideration and due time.
